ReNew Power announced the successful commissioning of Phase 1 (126 MW) of its 250 MW wind project located in Kutch district of Gujarat. This project is part of the India’s first wind power reverse auction concluded by Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) in February 2017 under the 1000 MW Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS). The power generated from this project will be supplied to the Northern and Eastern states of UP, Bihar, Jharkhand & Odisha using the ISTS network.
The 250MW wind power project was won at a tariff of 3.46 INR/unit by Ostro Kutch Wind Pvt Ltd in April 2017, which, through an acquisition of Ostro Energy and its portfolio of wind and solar energy projects became part of ReNew Power in March 2018. Sumant Sinha, Chairman and Managing Director, ReNew Power, said, “ReNew Power is India’s first renewable energy company to commission the first wind power project under ISTS scheme of SECI I wind auction. This is indeed a memorable moment for all of us as this milestone was achieved well ahead of commissioning date and I want to thank all the stakeholders who supported us.”
Ostro Kutch Wind, now a part of ReNew Power, awarded this 250MW turnkey project to Vestas Wind Technology, which includes delivery, installation and commissioning of 125 V110- 2.0 MW turbines, as well as the project’s BoP works (Civil & Electrical).
